About the event
The exhibition tells stories of individual women, men and children who have migrated in and out of the North West from other parts of the British Isles and other parts of the world as a result of conflict, colonialism and trade, as well as in search of work, educational opportunities or a better life. Together, the stories reveal the region’s long history of migration and ways in which it has shaped and continues to shape our social landscape.
On June 27th, Heather Swainston, the project coordinator for the Cheshire region, will speak alongside Dan Edmonds (Cheshire Archives) at the Unity Centre about this project and the Journeying to Cheshire project about the value of collecting and sharing stories about the experiences of people who have crossed borders.
Both Migration Stories North West and Journeying to Cheshire are supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund
